Pieces of jewelry always have a special meaning for their owners. When we choose jewels with specific symbols, we want to show the world our ideas, tastes and preferences. We believe that certain objects are good for our health, spiritual energy and mental balance, and that some can even attract good luck. On bracelets, rings, pendants and earrings, we can show our favorite symbols and feel protected by lucky charms.
The first talismans or amulets were made of stones, wood or glass, but nowadays, you can find a variety of pieces made of different materials that are designed to attract good luck, love, work, protection, friendship, etc. Wearing these accessories reminds us of our feelings and the situations we go through in life. When these pieces contain precious stones like jade, aventurine, quartz and many others, a magical value is added to the piece.
Celebrities also love to show their beliefs in amulets, talismans or lucky charms. Actress Cameron Díaz has a necklace to protect her from ageing; Paulina Rubio and Madonna like Kabbalah bracelets, which attract abundance, fortune, and protect against the evil eye; Queen Sofía likes to wear Turkish evil eye charms; Shakira wears rosary bracelets. They’re made of 10 knots and a cross; Jennifer Aniston and Mischa Barton wear a wishbone.
Among the most popular symbols in jewelry are the 4-leaf clover, representing good luck – people say that if you find one, it can change your life. Each leaf represents something different: faith, hope, love and luck – ; the horseshoe, also considered a symbol of good luck and home protection; the lily of the valley represents energy and light, perfection and purity; the anchor represents stability and will keep your feet on the ground; the infinity symbol represents the perpetuation of things and is used for declaring feelings of love and friendship.
Other popular symbols are elephants, which represent wisdom, stability, power and strength; Hamsa, a traditionally Muslim symbol that shows a hand that protects against evil and attracts good luck; the nazar, also known as Turkish evil eye which protects against the evil eye; and crosses, symbol of the Christianism, which reminds us that God is always with us and represents Christ’s victory over death and sin.
Lucky charm jewelry will always protect us and attract positive energies into our lives. Which one is your favorite?
